Through overexposure and bad booking they've almost killed the fun of the MITB as thoroughly as the Royal Rumble.

It's time to resurrect the Championship Scramble.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

10 matches is complete overkill for any PPV let alone a minor one. Sure some of the matches will be good, but by the end no-one will give a poo poo because they'll be too tired to care.

Doesn't WWE consider MITB to be a major one now in the same league as the Big 4 shows?

The women's ladder match is obviously the opener so they can have the winner cash-in and thus Becky loses one of the belts without taking a clean fall.

They may do, but the point of the Big 4 was that they were spread out throughout the year so each one could feel like a big event. It's pretty hard to push MITB up to that level if it's only 6 weeks after WM.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

You're forgetting that Survivor Series is the ONLY place you can see the Superstars of Raw and Smackdown go head to head.

I should be excited about this announcement considering how beloved the 24/7 hardcore belt was, but even if they try and do something similar, they won't be able to pull it off well.

Who wants to bet this title goes to someone like Roman for a while until the Smackdown title is taken off Kofi and put on a heel, Roman wins the Smackdown title, and the Wildcard title gets traded between a bunch of lower midcarders before flopping on the pre-show

I thought that a Women's IC title was more likely than the 24/7 title though, good to know it was even sillier than that. The universal midcard champion

e: I know the article says "Like a 24/7 championship" but I doubt it will go any further than just randomly traded around on house shows and TV

Vince pretends anything that isn't RAW or Smackdown doesn't exist. It was pretty obvious on commentary last night, when they kept hammering home the point that Lacey Evans was a complete unknown and there was no taped history of her prior to her RAW debut.

Vince doesn’t watch the other brands. Even he leaves after Smackdown goes off air.

I choose to believe that Baron Corbin is Vince McMahon's secret illigitimate son or something. There's literally no other explanation for why they have now quadrupled down on pushing a guy who is ratings poison, doesn't sell any merch, and absolutely sucks.
